I see some of this was owned by John T. Amber. He's been gone for over 30 years.

There's a good bit of history in that pile.

From the pictures I would say this is not a set of tools for a beginner. I hope someone who knows how to use them gets them. It would be a shame to let it all waste away or rust. It appears some of the caliber specific stuff may be mixed into other boxes. Also someone with experience should sort through the stuff and make sure each caliber tools are separated if you decide to sell it off by caliber.

This setup won't go to waste. I have signed up as custodian.
I've gotten to speak with the toolmaker who is passing it along to me. He's offered his time going forward to help me pick through the equipment as I get it unpacked, sorted, and into service.
I have the additional resource of the fellow who I work with. His uncle was an avid enthusiast bullet maker who ended up making a lot of his own equipment.
I'm a lucky guy to have this all come together this way.

if everything comes together it will ship out today... total pallet weight is 475 lbs... most of that weight is in lead wire & brass jacket material, but there are 3 presses, and all the dies & tooling
